| Ginger Commodore & GCQ CD Release Ginger Commodore (GinSing Music) announced the release of a compilation of some of her most requested songs captured from a live performance at the 2006 Hot Summer Jazz Festival. Three bonus tracks are also included from a prior year's performance at HSJ (including her often requested version of Fever). The song selections present a capsulated image of who Ginger Commodore is. From straight ahead jazz (I Get a Kick, Who Can I Turn To) to her more R&B side (My Funny Valentine, Sweet Love), with a little blues thrown in as well (Since I Fell For You). And let's not forget her tender side, with her unforgettable treatments of 'Unchained Melody' (in tribute to Little Jimmy Scott) and 'Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow'. Since recording a holiday CD in 2001 that included various groups (Sounds of Blackness & cast of Smokey Joe's Caf) and years of singing on other projects, this CD represents her first “solo” CD. Those whom have witnessed Ginger's live performances and have continually asked “did you record that?” will have to wait no longer. It is truly fitting that this CD captures the essence of Ginger Commodore in a live performance in a truly great setting. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Jazz News :: home page |
